Work in progress...

or WIP as we knitters call it. As usual I have several WIPs going but no worries. A pair of possum socks for Buddy, a beaded silk scarf, colorwork socks for Tyler, a couple of scarves that are hibernating and Madli's shawl that I want to finish for our upcoming Mexican cruise.

Today I focus on Madli's Shawl that I started last week and wasn't quite sure if it was the One (or the right one). I also started another shawl but wasn't feeling the love for it so I frogged it....rrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiipppppppppppppppppp. :)

So I finished the edging and started the main pattern that will repeat 31 times (phew) so I still need to complete the first set then knit it 30 more times. I have a month, we shall see how that goes.




To get a better idea of how the yarn will work with the pattern, I decided to lightly block what I had and then go from there.

Here is is pinned out on my fancy garage mat/blocking mat that H bought for $20.

I do like it and I'm plunging ahead full steam. :)

I'm trying to stay focused but I can't help admiring it!
